Surah Hud

50 To the 'Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!

51 "O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him who created me: Will ye not then understand?

52 "And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring abundant rain, and add strength to your strength: so turn ye not back in sin!"

53 They said: "O Hud! No Clear (Sign) that hast thou brought us, and we are not the ones to desert our gods on thy word! Nor shall we believe in thee!

54 "We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility." He said: "I call Allah to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing, to Him,

55 "Other gods as partners! so scheme (your worst) against me, all of you, and give me no respite.

56 "I put my trust in Allah, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path.

57 "If ye turn away,- I (at least) have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people to succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. For my Lord hath care and watch over all things."

58 So when Our decree issued, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves: We saved them from a severe penalty.

59 Such were the 'Ad People: they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His messengers; And followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor.

60 And they were pursued by a Curse in this life,- and on the Day of Judgment. Ah! Behold! for the 'Ad rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were 'Ad the people of Hud!

Surah Al Araaf

65 To the 'Ad people, (We sent) Hud, one of their (own) brethren: He said: O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him will ye not fear (Allah)?"

66 The leaders of the Unbelievers among his people said: "Ah! we see thou art an imbecile!" and "We think thou art a liar!"

67 He said: "O my people! I am no imbecile, but (I am) a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!

68 "I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: I am to you a sincere and trustworthy adviser.

69 "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah: that so ye may prosper."

70 They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!"

71 He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers,- without authority from Allah? then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."

72 We saved him and those who adhered to him. By Our mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our signs and did not believe.

Surah Ash Shuaraa

123 The 'Ad (people) rejected the messengers.

124 Behold, their brother Hud said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?

125 "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust:

126 "So fear Allah and obey me.

127 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.

128 "Do ye build a landmark on every high place to amuse yourselves?

129 "And do ye get for yourselves fine buildings in the hope of living therein (for ever)?

130 "And when ye exert your strong hand, do ye do it like men of absolute power?

131 "Now fear Allah, and obey me.

132 "Yea, fear Him Who has bestowed on you freely all that ye know.

133 "Freely has He bestowed on you cattle and sons,-

134 "And Gardens and Springs.

135 "Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Great Day."

136 They said: "It is the same to us whether thou admonish us or be not among (our) admonishers!

137 "This is no other than a customary device of the ancients,

138 "And we are not the ones to receive Pains and Penalties!"

139 So they rejected him, and We destroyed them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

140 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
